Stop the Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter

Stop the Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter

The Issue

Wildlife Services' Predator Control Program is the government's top wildlife killing machine; a program that operates with a kill-first mentality, and usually without a second thought to resolving conflicts using proven non-lethal techniques.

Their brutal, scientifically unfounded and outdated predator control program results in the killing of thousands of wild animals each year — including accidental deaths of imperiled species and household pets!

This agency should know better. Its own researchers have identified non-lethal alternatives that protect livestock and ranch animals without the unnecessary killing.

Wildlife Services has gone too far for too long, and they need to be held accountable!

Please take action and urge the USDA to take immediate action and perform an audit of the Wildlife Services Predator Control Program.
